Kurtis the stock boy and Brenda the checkout girl

[snoozebutton]

In a supermarket, Kurtis the stock boy, was busily working when a new voice came over the loud speaker asking for a carry out at register 4. Kurtis was almost finished, and wanted to get some fresh air, and decided to answer the call. As he approached the check-out stand a distant smile caught his eye, the new check-out girl was beautiful. She was an older woman (maybe 26, and he was only 22) and he fell in love.

Later that day, after his shift was over, he waited by the punch clock to find out her name. She came into the break room, smiled softly at him, took her card and punched out, then left. He looked at her card, BRENDA. He walked out only to see her start walking up the road. Next day, he waited outside as she left the supermarket, and offered her a ride home. He looked harmless enough, and she accepted. When he dropped her off, he asked if maybe he could see her again, outside of work. She simply said it wasn't possible.

He pressed and she explained she had two children and she couldn't afford a baby-sitter, so he offered to pay for the baby-sitter. Reluctantly she accepted his offer for a date for the following Saturday. That Saturday night he arrived

at her door only to have her tell him that she was unable to go with him. The baby-sitter had called and canceled. To which Kurtis simply said, "Well, let's take the kids with us."

She tried to explain that taking the children was not an option, but again not taking no for an answer, he pressed. Finally Brenda, brought him inside to meet her children. She had an older daughter who was just as cute as a bug,

Kurtis thought, then Brenda brought out her son, in a wheelchair. He was born a paraplegic with Down Syndrome.

Kurtis asked Brenda, "I still don't understand why the kids can't come with us?" Brenda was amazed. Most men would run away from a woman with two kids, especially if one had disabilities - just like her first husband and father of her children had done. Kurtis was not ordinary - - - he had a different mindset.

That evening Kurtis and Brenda loaded up the kids, went to dinner and the movies. When her son needed anything Kurtis would take care of him. When he needed to use the restroom, he picked him up out of his wheelchair, took him and brought him back. The kids loved Kurtis. At the end of the evening, Brenda knew this was the man she was going to marry and spend the rest of her life with.

A year later, they were married and Kurtis adopted both of her children. Since then they have added two more kids. So what happened to Kurtis the stock boy and Brenda the check-out girl?

Well, Mr. & Mrs. Kurt Warner now live in Arizona , where he is currently employed as the quarterback of the National Football League Arizona Cardinals and has his Cardinals in the hunt for a possible appearance in the Super Bowl. Is this a surprise ending or could you have guessed that he was not an ordinary person.

It should be noted that he also quarterbacked the Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI. He has also been the NLF's Most Valuable Player twice and the Super Bowl's Most Valuable Player.

Nice story.

Another little tidbit on Kurt. His parents have a place on Lake Vermilion where Kurt and his brother Matt spent many a summer days fishing. I might even have fished with Kurt a time or two

Great guy, happy to see him succeed.

It's a great story for sure. He's one of the good guys and would love to see more like him in sports to look up too.

I remember reading this story several years ago but it's kind of nice to again read something positive about a professional athlete. Seems like most of the stories you see about athletes are about bad qualities. Can we get him to qb the vikes next year?

[Wadinator]

Can we get him to qb the vikes next year?

Wouldn't that be a dream come true....

[FasterThanYou23]

Thats a good story,and he's a great guy,but....GO STEELERS

[Windy City]

Wade,

I don't think you can get him to QB for the Queens, but maybe you could get him to bag groceries at the Piggly Wiggly! LOL

[bbqhead]

Actually, according to a google search. they never worked

together, but met at a dance club. He did adopt the kids

and marry her. a cool move on his part no matter where they met!

Was it me, or did she look about 50 times hotter now than she did when they showed her every 5 seconds when the Rams won the Super Bowl??

Not just you. I agree.

[Windy City]

Complete Home Makeover I am guessing!

Complete Home Makeover I am guessing!

Or the $$$$$ and plastic surgery. Of course growing her hair out and not looking like a Cub Scout works wonders I suppose

[zamboni]

What a difference:

To this:

[leech~~]

See what a little money and a Bag boy can do! I guess I missed the moral of the story! Bag a casher and cash in?

[Sandmannd]

Yea, the hair added a lot I think. But yea, she's looking great now.

This is the first time I have heard of this story. Thanks for posting it snooze.

I think it is a great story. The NFL should be highlighting stories like these. I don't hear many of these types of stories. Instead I hear about the one-who-thinks-I-am-silly thugs shooting themselves in the leg, fighting with security hired to protect them, causing problems in strip clubs and other classless acts.
